    Our kitten is on the same food as our older cat (2 yrs old) so no seperate food either. But they are both now into play fighting at 4.30 in the morning and very noisy with it!
    Glad your list is going well Sugar and that your kitten is settling in emlou.
    Caz hope the snow stays away!

    I've got a Scout on Thomas's Christmas list :) I don't think there's any danger of it not knowing his name lol.

    DH won't let me get a Jumperoo :( He says it takes up too much room and we've got too much baby carp as it is lol. So I'm going to get a Hop n Pop instead. Watching a few on ebay that end tomorrow. My only concern is that it doesn't appear to be adjustable and T is tall so might grow out of it quickly. Doe anyone have one and can you tell me what height it goes up to?

    I also have a gripe water question. The bottle says use within 2 weeks. Does anyone know why and would you use it after the 2 weeks?

    We had a better night last night with only one poo :jDH changed him :j:j and he went back down without being fed :j:j:j It was about 3am so I was really pleased. I fully expected him to wake back up for a feed at 4ish as I've got him back in bad habits but he slept until 6am :j Unfortunately he then refused to go back down but you can't have everthing :cool:

    nico - cute pic. :)

    well, OH got up with J at 12am and spent 2.5hrs trying to wake me up cos J was asleep in our bed rolling around trying to get comfy and kept kicking OH :o

    J woke at 7am for a bottle and then went back to bed with us until 10am. I was very :j but he's been napping since 12.30pm so am a bit :( cos he's really whingy as well.

    Weather was lovely here but now cloudy so planning how to sort the house and plan to put most of Baby stuff on Netmums rather than keeping it and having to transport it all

    Where does the time go? :think:

    ((Hugs)) Michelle - but a lovely photo you have to show her as she grows up so she can remember him.

    The other baby being voted for with MFD's Benjamin in the Stokke competition is mine. :D
    (I've fb added you too).

    I hope everyone is good this morning.

    I still feel rubbish. My throat is still killing me. :(.

    Have you tried antiseptic strepsils? They numb your throat for a bit and give some relief. There has been a throat thing going around this end too. Hope it clears up soon.

    I am so old :( my fun hobby is my family tree and I am thinking of treating myself to some decent pots and pans for my birthday :( where did it all go wrong...

    Im 26 and was planning on asking DH for some decent pans. We moved home recently and SOMEONE left a whole cupboard of stuff in our old house! :eek::eek: For weeks I was asking, wheres this, wheres that... then the council wrote to us to charge us for clearing the cupboard out! :eek::eek::eek: They sent a photo and there were some on my pans and most of our cups! :rotfl:

    Again, thanks for the sympathy messages. X

    Right, got some friend requests on FB- you need to tell me who you are! GM? NP? CR?

    Lovely pic pinknico.

    Havent got my glasses and just had to double check your post Gill... I thought the Hop n Pop said Hop and MOP! It would be great to have one of those... keep baby entertained AND mop the floor aswell! :T

    And sorry to those who have lost their grandparents too.

    OMG my baby will not stop whinging. Again. She constantly wants to be picked up, but as soon as she is picked up she wants to be on the floor again, when she starts to whinge because she is not on my knee.

    Someone tell me this is a phase. Please.

    Nope, SS; they still do it when they're 16 - sorry.

    (Of course it's a phase :p probably a very short one too - I reckon a few days at tops! :P)

    Thanks for the soup suggestions, Sami I didn't think about the fact that it was done in the SC might make a difference!! I chucked some chilli powder in and some more black pepper...it was pretty good then and I ate a huuuuge bowlful at lunchtime which I am still full from:) Dh had some too and said it was nice:)

    Having Fajitas tonight, I can't wait:D K won't eat them though so he will have something from a can.

    I have been fairly productive today, I have washed and dried 3 machine loads, sorted more stuff for eBay, which basically involved emptying T's drawers of anything 0-3mths and emptied/washed/sorted/tidied all the kitchen drawers. I have just had to put another wash load on though as the boys decided to have a water fight in the garden and were drenched and muddy, I made them strip in the garden;)

    If I can get T down earlyish tonight we are going to watch sex n city 2:D I might even have a shandy or two;)
